Send us a text

Purr-haps you'd like a new way to get your claws on science questions sent in by kids like you. That's litter-ally my favorite thing.

Today Cosmo and I tackle a question from Hillary's 1st graders in Washington: What makes snow sparkle?

You'll hear:

• How snowflakes are hexagonal ice crystals
• About white light and rainbow colors
• What reflection and refraction mean

Resources you can use:

• Check out Von Walden's research near the North Pole and South Pole
• Learn about atmospheric science
